I recently went on a tour of the NB Distillery as part of my university course. Afterwards there was a tasting session of the various products that used the Distillery's spirits which included two bottles of the above. The staff who took us on the tour said that they were able to buy it from the staff shop. I don't remember what price they said it was but, if they were willing to give two bottles away to us, then I suspect it is neither as expensive nor as scarce as Jimbo suspects.

I recently received a bottle of 1980 as a gift having completed a contract for the distillery. So there is some still available, but not for sale as far as i am aware

Either the above poster is completely ignorant or he/she is just a total bullsh1tter. It simply isn't possible. This bottling was done years ago, I very much doubt that they still have it to sell at the distillery - and if they did, it certainly wouldn't be for ?14. Maybe ?140. This whisky has never been ?14, end of discussion.

Don't be ridiculous, I'm sure you can buy some kind of expression at the distillery, but it isn't going to be a cask-strength 1980 vintage of this very rarely-seen whisky. And not for ?14 either.
